In today’s golf tip, we’ll explain a drill that just might do wonders for your game.
In these articles, we often describe actions you can take on the course to improve your score, but today’s golf tip is great for the range. The “feet together” drill is a great exercise that can lead to major improvements in your game.
Tee the ball up first. Take your normal stance, but with your feet touching. Aim to 12:00. Turn your back to the target and then clip the “dandelion stem” out to 1:00 (to the right).
You will turn very well and hopefully show “both numbers” to the pitcher during your backswing. With the feet together, your backswing is not under the threat of a sway. Your right pocket will turn in the barrel in the direction behind you. This turn will put you in a great position to attack the dandelion stem from the inside out. There is much more clubhead speed when you do this.

Many golfers hit the ball better and more consistently this way, as they are in no hurry to spread their feet and instead work with the pivots of the backswing and the downswing. Learning how to turn your trunk for power is super beneficial.
If your ball curves to the right, try reducing grip pressure. If it’s still going to the right after that, move your hands away from the target (stronger location). For right-handed players, this stronger location means moving your hands to the right and showing more knuckles. If you are still curving the ball to the right after that, try swinging out to right field with the toe of the club in the lead, as this will force your hands to release. Clip the stem with the toe to right field!
You can hit any club with this drill, and you will be surprised with the great results after just five or so minutes of hitting with your feet together. Adding turn and attacking your ball from the inside corner will be a game changer! Many players sway to the right without turning much, and therefore are in no position to attack the ball from the inside with any centrifugal force. Don’t stay in that mode — this drill is your way out!
